The Gossard Big M Survey has been released and here’s what’s up: 92% of women aged 18-30 masturbate. Of those surveyed, 66% masturbate three times per week. That’s not bad compared with the mere 62% of women masturbating in 1953.

The Sun reports:

The poll reveals nine out of 10 are regularly taking time out for some solo action - the highest number ever.

And two-thirds of women admit to pleasuring themselves three times a week, with women in London finding the time for four sessions every seven days.

The Gossard Big M Survey confidentially quizzed more than 1,000 UK women aged 18-30 with an extensive questionnaire to find out all about their sexual attitudes, habits, fantasies and practices...

Leading woman’s coach, Jessica Chiver, said: “It’s no wonder more and more women are self-pleasuring when you look at how liberated we’ve become in other areas of our lives and the shot of mood boosting hormones orgasm gives us.

“One of the best things about pleasing ourselves is that it gives us more confidence when we’re intimate with our partners - we communicate better and feel more satisfied which is good for everyone.”

I’d hardly say that masturbating instills one with confidence or communicative ability. Still, it’s good that more women are taking satisfaction into their own hands, literally.
